This article has provided a good basic introduction to the European Institute for Health Records. However, this wikipedia page may be more beneficial if it provides more detailed information on its objectives and the related european projects. For my assignment I plan to provide more information on the various projects conducted by the European Institute of Health Records. In the wikipedia page, it mentions various projects being conducted without any information. I believe by providing more information on these projects, I can help the article provide a better understanding for those researching about the organisation role. The objectives within this article are brief but concise, more research needs to be done to decide whether or not they need anymore information.

Q-REC is a Specific Support Action and its objective is to supplement the existing e-Health ERA Co-ordination Project “Towards the establishment of a European e Health Research Area”. It aims is to create an credible, sustainable and efficient means in certifying EHR system in Europe by concentrating EHR Systems Quality Labeling and Certification Development, Resources for EHR interoperatablility, and Benchmarking Services.[1]

RIDE: A Roadmap for Interoperability of eHealth Systems in Support of COM 356 with Special Emphasis on Semantic Interoperability RIDE is a project that aims to provide a solid foundation for the action plans of eHealth Communication COM 356. Through research and development into the interoperability of eHealth systems, meaningful recommendations can be made for actions at a European level. The lack of complete harmonisation between clinical practice, terminology an EHR systems have highlighted that there is an unrealistic expectation in developing a single universally clinical data model. Hence the RIDE project objective is to provide a roadmap through focusing on current limitations of policies and strategies in solutions for ehealth interoperability and assessing health's European best practices in regards to providing semantic interoperability.

EHR-IMPLEMENT: National policies for EHR Implementation in the European area: social and organizational issues The objective of EHR-IMPLEMENT is to provide best practice, policy and strategic recommendations in the implementation of EHR among europe. This is done though the collection and analysis of EHR implementations in various countries. Previous EHR projects have always addressed the technological area in EHR. Other commonly overlooked in projects, the EHR-IMPLEMENT will focus the social and organisational on a broad national initiative, as these factor may potentially hinder, if not ruin the EHR implementation.
